ScreenProbe: False Advertising #112

Open sfwatergit opened 8 years ago

sfwatergit commented 8 years ago

In @Description: "Records when the screen turns off and on."

However, as indicated in the Android API (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_SCREEN_ON):

"Broadcast Action: Sent when the device wakes up and becomes interactive.

For historical reasons, the name of this broadcast action refers to the power state of the screen but it is actually sent in response to changes in the overall interactive state of the device."

This seems to be a documentation issue at best, but probably does not jive w/ the original design intent of the probe. I'm flagging this since we found unexpected behavior after processing data collected w/ this system.
